You don't need to wrap, just reimplement (The _aaRange primitives are 
accessible, I tried it). I don't see any reason to nest these, and they 
can be unrelated. As I said before, you can shoehorn the primitives into 
whatever you want in Phobos.

So I'm more interested in getting the .byKeyValue, we can call it that 
if people like it better. I don't care at all what, if anything, goes 
into Phobos.
